It fails to compile in the openSUSE build service because of this:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
./base/gximono.c:1068:43: warning:
  assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]
    dev_value = color_cache[*psrc * spp_out];
              ^

              ^

              ^

In the openSUSE build service there are automated checks
that let build fail for some specific warnings and one
is triggred by "-Wint-conversion" so that build fails with
------------------------------------------------------------------------
64bit-portability-issue ./base/gximono.c:1068, 1100, 1138, 1175
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had a look at base/gximono.c but for me it is not obvious
what is actually meant with
   dev_value = color_cache[*psrc * spp_out];

dev_value is a pointer to byte and I do not understand
the idea behind how that pointer value is calculated
so that currently I cannot provide a reasonable patch.
